P1767 talks specifically about intermediate formats. It's not a proposal
for an alternative package manager and/or build system.

> The intent is that SG15 will specify a concrete package manifest file
format, describing exactly how the requisite information will be encoded.
However, this document does not propose any concrete file format for
package manifests. The author believes that a plain-text -- possibly YAML
-- format, with a suitable schema to encode all currently-known necessary
information, and room for extensibility, would likely be a reasonable
choice.
